Searching for...

Friday, 26 April 2013

Jan writes"Recently having driven from Corpus Christi to Houston to Austin and back to Corpus Christi, Texas, we saw the effects of rain and drought on the byways. South Texas is in a severe drought situation, but the route between Houston and Austin was graced with some recent rainfalls so that wildflowers were abundant. Otherwise, there were few to be seen."

With the old adage "April showers bring May flowers," let's look at the weather and vegetation in our home areas to see if any May Flowers will be blooming.

1. What spring flowers and plants do you see? Or will see sometime in the future?

Not seeing anything blooming here as yet, but I did notice

a sheltered section of some unknown lovely green tips pushing their way up and into the sun!Definitely keeping my eye on them ~

Thinking they will probably be tulips or irises...

2. What kinds of weather are you experiencing in April?

A mixed bag of lots of sun then flurries at the drop of a hat{or temperature in this case!}

Winds are high and cold - helpful in drying up the melting snow

and muddy puddles!

3. What are the stereotypical harbingers of spring in your area?
How about where you grew up?

Quote of Note ...

`The first service that one owes to others in the fellowship consists in listening to them. Just as love to God begins with listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them. It is God's love for us that He not only gives us His Word but also lends His ear. So it is His work that we do for our brother when we learn to listen to him. Christians, especially ministers, so often think they must always contribute when they are in the company of others, that this is the one service they have to render. They forget that listening can be a greater service than speaking.'
